“What you allow is, what will continue.”
In a world that often demands our time, attention, and energy, setting strong boundaries is a powerful act of self-preservation and self-care. Boundaries are essential in maintaining healthy relationships, safeguarding our mental and emotional well-being, and honoring our values and needs. In this blog, we will explore the importance of setting strong boundaries, how to establish them effectively, and the transformative impact they can have on our lives.
Here are 7 signs of strong boundaries:
1. You stop engaging with and responding to negative people. You realize that the people who choose to be victims all the time drag you to become one.
2. You no longer discuss with others the actions you are taking to upgrade your life. You outgrow people who talk bad behind your back and instead, focus on getting better. You understand that where your attention goes decides the trajectory of your life.
3. You stop keeping grudges against people. You realize that keeping grudges harm you more. You choose to move on and let the universe handle them.
4. You start doing what is right for you and not what others want you to do. You realize that for growth in life, it is important to prioritize yourself.
5. You stop giving second chances to people who make you feel about yourself. You stop giving your time to people who belittle others. You understand that people who love drama in life do not care about how others feel.
6. You start trusting how your body feels when around someone. Relaxed or feel like being on the edge? You notice these. You realize that your instincts cannot lie.
7. You stop going to places where you feel unwanted. You are no longer afraid to be alone OR afraid to “lose” people if you are not available for them. You live by the rule: “The trade off should NEVER be the peace of your mind”
Setting strong boundaries is an act of self-empowerment that allows us to live authentically and protect our well-being.
If you still haven’t set boundaries, don’t worry but start doing it NOW!
